BOCA RATON — The Wayne Barton Study Center hosted some 2,500 guests at a special Thanksgiving dinner Nov. 19 at the Wayne Barton Study Center. That’s up from the 1,500 who children and families who attended last year.
Visitors came through such organizations such as the Boca Raton Charter School, Dixie Manor Housing Authority, The Haven, Florence Fuller
Child Development Centers and individually, from Boca Raton and surrounding areas. Many of these children are at-risk youth who might not otherwise have a Thanksgiving dinner.
The Center also distributed turkeys door-to-door to needy families Nov. 20 and 21. Donations are still being accepted by mail at: The Wayne Barton Study Center, 269 NE 14th St. Boca Raton, FL 33432 or on the website ww.waynebartonstudycenter.org, and click on the Donations Tab.
“We could not undertake this huge project if not for one of our volunteers, Toni Valentino of the Pam & Toni Team, Keller Williams Realty in Boca Raton and The Above and Beyond Community Church,” Barton said.
